AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of November 8, 2012 (this “Agreement”), is by and among KAYAK Software Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), xxxxxxxxx.xxx Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Produce Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub,” with the Company and Merger Sub sometimes being hereinafter referred to, together, as the “Constituent Corporations”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved the merger of the Company with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and have approved and declared advisable this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend that, for federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”); and

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER; CLOSING; EFFECTIVE TIME

1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Company shall be merged with and into Merger Sub and the separate corporate existence of the Company shall thereupon cease. Merger Sub shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”), and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub, with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

1.2. Closing. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company and Parent, the closing for the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, at 9:00 A.M. on the first (1^st) business day (the “Closing Date”) following the day on which the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) shall be satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “business day” shall mean any day ending at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banks are required or authorized to close in the City of New York.

1.3. Effective Time. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Company and Parent will cause a Certificate of Merger (the “Delaware Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided in Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time when the Delaware Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by the parties in writing and specified in the Delaware Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”). If the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware requires any changes in the Delaware Certificate of Merger as a condition to filing or issuing a certificate that the Merger is effective, the parties shall execute any necessary revisions incorporating such changes; provided, such changes are not inconsistent with and do not result in any material change(s) in the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS

The certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation (the “Charter”), until thereafter duly amended as provided therein or by applicable Law, except that Article 1 of the Charter shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows: “The name of the Corporation is KAYAK Software Corporation.”

2.2. The By-Laws. The by-laws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation (the “By-Laws”), until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

ARTICLE IV

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK;

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

4.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of the Company (collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and Shares owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties, and (ii) Shares that are owned by stockholders that have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Stockholders”) ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Excluded Shares”)) shall be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof as provided in this Article IV, the following consideration:

(i) Subject to Section 4.2, each Share that is a Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive $40.00 in cash (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”).

(ii) Subject to Section 4.2, each Share that is a Stock Election Share shall be converted into a portion of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.008 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) equal to the quotient (the “Exchange Ratio”) determined by dividing (A) $40.00 by (B) the Parent Trading Price (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”); provided that (x) if the number determined by dividing $40.00 by the Parent Trading

-3-

Price is less than or equal to 0.05728, then the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.05728, and (y) if the number determined by dividing $40.00 by the Parent Trading Price is greater than or equal to 0.07001, then the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.07001.

(iii) Each Share that is a No Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration or the Per Share Stock Consideration, as determined pursuant to Section 4.2.

At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and any Shares (other than Excluded Shares) held in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest. As used herein, (x) the term “Per Share Merger Consideration” means, with respect to any Share, either the Per Share Cash Consideration or the Per Share Stock Consideration, as applicable, and (y) the term “Parent Trading Price” means the thirty (30) day aggregate volume-weighted average per share price, rounded to two decimal points, of Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) (as reported by The Wall Street Journal) for the period of the thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the second-to-last full trading day prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of such Excluded Share, cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist, subject to any rights the holder thereof may have under Section 4.3(h).

(c) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustments. If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the Parent Common Stock, the Class A Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing in this Section 4.1(d) shall be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

-4-

4.2. Election Procedures.

(a) An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree (the “Election Form”) shall be (i) filed by Parent as an exhibit to the Form S-4, and (ii) mailed by the Company, together with the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, to each holder of record of Shares as of the record date for the Stockholders Meeting (the “Record Date”).

(b) Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) of Shares to specify (A) the number of such holder’s Shares with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration (“Stock Election Shares”), (B) the number of such holder’s Shares with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration (“Cash Election Shares”) or (C) that such holder makes no election with respect to such holder’s Shares (“No Election Shares”). Any Shares with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is five (5) business days preceding the Closing Date (the “Election Deadline”) shall be deemed to be No Election Shares.

(c) Parent shall make available one or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested from time to time by any Person that becomes a holder (or beneficial owner) of Shares during the period between the Record Date and the Election Deadline, and the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information with respect to such holder reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.

(d) Any election contemplated in Section 4.2(b) shall be considered to have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificates) representing all Shares covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form only by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, unless a subsequent properly completed Election Form is submitted and actually received by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline, the Shares represented by such revoked Election Form shall be deemed No Election Shares, and Parent shall cause the Certificates to be promptly returned without charge to the holder submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from such holder. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election,

-5-

revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent or Parent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither Parent nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the total number of Shares that will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 4.1(a) (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include Shares that are owned by Dissenting Stockholders) shall equal (i) 12,725,035 Shares (which constitute 33% of the total number of Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2012), plus (ii) 33% of the number of Shares that are issued from and after October 31, 2012 and prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to the exercise or vesting of Company Options or Company RSUs outstanding as of the date hereof (clauses (i) and (ii), together, the “Target Cash Conversion Number”).

(f) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) days after the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the holders of Shares of rights to receive Parent Common Stock or cash in the Merger in accordance with the Election Forms as follows:

(i) Cash Oversubscribed. If the total number of the Cash Election Shares (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include Shares that are owned by Dissenting Stockholders) (the “Cash Election Number”) is greater than the Target Cash Conversion Number, then:

(A) each Stock Election Share and No Election Share (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to exclude Shares that are owned by Dissenting Stockholders) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration; and

(B) the number of Cash Election Shares of each holder thereof that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per Share equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be equal to (x) the number of Cash Election Shares of such holder multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Target Cash Conversion Number, and the denominator of which is the Cash Election Number, and each of the remaining Cash Election Shares of such holder shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

-6-

(ii) Cash Undersubscribed. If the Cash Election Number is less than the Target Cash Conversion Number (such difference between the Cash Election Number and the Target Cash Conversion Number, the “Shortfall Number”), then:

(A) each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration; and

(B) the Stock Election Shares and the No Election Shares (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to exclude Shares that are owned by Dissenting Stockholders) shall be treated in the following manner:

(x) if the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the aggregate number of No Election Shares, then (1) each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration, and (2) the number of No Election Shares of each holder thereof that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per Share equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be equal to (i) the number of No Election Shares of such holder multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of No Election Shares, and each of the remaining No Election Shares of such holder shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration; and

(y) if the Shortfall Number exceeds the aggregate number of No Election Shares, then (1) each No Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration, and (2) the number of Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per Share equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be equal to (i) the number of Stock Election Shares of such holder multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the aggregate number of No Election Shares, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares, and the remaining Stock Election Shares of such holder shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

(iii) Cash Subscriptions Sufficient. If the Cash Election Number is equal to the Target Cash Conversion Number, then subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall not apply, all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration, and all Stock Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

4.3. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At the Effective Time, Parent shall make available or cause to be made available to an exchange agent selected by Parent with the

-7-

Company’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (the “Exchange Agent”), amounts in cash and Parent Common Stock sufficient in order for the Exchange Agent to distribute the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 4.1(a) and the cash portion of the Company Option Consideration pursuant to Section 4.5(a) (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash portion of the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 4.1(a) shall be promptly returned to Parent.

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Certificates. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than ten (10) days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of No Election Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) represented by Certificates: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 4.3(g)) to the Exchange Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 4.3(g)) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. After completion of the allocation procedure set forth in Section 4.2 and upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 4.3(g)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal or Election Form, as the case may be, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record) that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates pursuant to Section 4.2(f), if any, and (B) a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.4) equal to (x) the amount of cash (consisting of the Per Share Cash Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 4.3(e)), if any, that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates pursuant to this Article IV, plus (y) any cash dividends and other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 4.3(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount

-8-

payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of Book-Entry Shares shall be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.1(a). In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable thereon pursuant to Section 4.3(c) shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, in respect of each Book-Entry Share (A) that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record) that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of such holder’s Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section 4.2(f), if any, and (B) a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.4) equal to (x) the amount of cash (consisting of the Per Share Cash Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 4.3(e)), if any, that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of such holder’s Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section 4.2(f), plus (y) any cash dividends and other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 4.3(c), and the Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares.

(i) Certificates. All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and, whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of the Parent Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 4.3(g)) is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article IV. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 4.3(g)), there

-9-

shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date at or after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date at or after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to the time of such surrender.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Holders of Book-Entry Shares that are entitled to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.2(f) shall be issued and/or paid (A) at the time of payment and delivery of such shares of Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(ii), the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid and (B) at the appropriate payment date, all other dividends and other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time to the extent such holder holds shares of Parent Common Stock on the applicable record date.

(d) Transfers. The Per Share Merger Consideration delivered in accordance with the terms of this Article IV upon the surrender of the Certificates (or, automatically, in the case of Book-Entry Shares) shall be deemed to have been delivered in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares (other than the right to receive the payments and deliveries contemplated by this Article IV). From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration to which the holder of the Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article IV.

(e) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued in respect of a holder’s Shares. In lieu thereof, any holder of Shares entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock but for this Section 4.3(e) shall be entitled to receive a cash payment, which payment shall be calculated by the Exchange Agent as an amount equal to the product of (i) such holder’s proportionate interest in a share of Parent Common Stock and (ii) the Parent Trading Price. All fractional shares to which a single record holder of Shares would otherwise be entitled to receive hereunder shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to three decimal places.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including cash, certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock and the

-10-

proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) that has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.4) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Entity or other entity of any kind or nature.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will distribute the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each Share represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

(h) Appraisal Rights. No Person that has perfected a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Each Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal by Dissenting Stockholders, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

4.4. Withholding Rights. Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld

-11-

amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

4.5. Treatment of Stock Plans.

(a) Treatment of Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Shares (a “Company Option”) under the Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, shall cease to represent an option to purchase Shares and will be converted automatically into (1) options to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Shares subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per Share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Conversion Ratio and (2) the right of the holder of such Company Option to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a whole share of Parent Common Stock that would have resulted from the calculation pursuant to the preceding clause (1) but for the rounding specified therein and (ii) the Parent Trading Price (rounded up or down, as applicable, to the nearest whole cent), less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such cash payment (the resultant Parent Common Stock option and right to cash specified in clauses (1) and (2), the “Company Option Consideration”); provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Company Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided further that in the case of any Company Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Company Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Company Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Conversion Ratio” shall mean the Exchange Ratio, unless the provisions of Section 4.1(a)(ii)(x) or (y) are applicable, in which case the “Conversion Ratio” shall mean the sum of (i) the product of the Exchange Ratio (as in effect pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(ii)(x) or (y), as applicable) multiplied by 67%, plus (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by (B) 33% by (y) the Parent Trading Price.

(b) Treatment of Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time, any vesting conditions applicable to each outstanding restricted stock unit (a “Company RSU”) under the Stock Plans shall accelerate in full,

-12-

and each Company RSU shall be cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of such Company RSU to receive as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of Shares subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Per Share RSU Consideration, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Per Share RSU Consideration” shall mean the Per Share Cash Consideration unless the provisions of Section 4.1(a)(ii)(x) or (y) are applicable, in which case the “Per Share RSU Consideration” shall mean the sum of (i) the product of the Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by 33%, plus (ii) 67% multiplied by the product of (x) the Exchange Ratio (as in effect pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(ii)(x) or (y), as applicable) and (y) the Parent Trading Price.

(c) Registration. If registration of any interests in the Stock Plans or other Benefit Plans or the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable thereunder is required under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), Parent shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on the Effective Time a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to such interests or Parent Common Stock, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the relevant Stock Plans or other Benefit Plans, as applicable, remain in effect and such registration of interests therein or the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable thereunder continues to be required.

(d) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the board of directors of the Company and the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of Sections 4.5(a) and 4.5(b). Parent shall take all actions which are necessary for the assumption of the Company Options pursuant to Section 4.5(a), including the reservation, issuance and listing of Parent Common Stock as necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.5. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Shares or other capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options or Company RSUs.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Benefit Plans” shall mean all “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or “voluntary employees’ beneficiary associations,” under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code, in each case covering current or former employees, directors or consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and each other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, practice, contract, agreement or other arrangement providing retirement, severance, termination or change in control payments, deferred compensation, vacation, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation rights, stock-based or other equity-based, incentive, bonus, supplemental retirement, profit sharing, insurance, medical, welfare, fringe or other benefits or remuneration of any kind, whether or not in writing and whether or not funded, in each case, which is sponsored, maintained or contributed to, or required to be maintained or contributed to, or with respect to which any potential liability is borne by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The Company has separately identified in Section 5.1(j)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter (i) each Benefit Plan that contains a change in control provision and (ii) each Benefit Plan that is maintained primarily for the benefit of employees outside of the United States (a “Non-U.S. Benefit Plan”). For purposes of this Agreement, “ERISA Affiliate” means all employers (whether or not incorporated) that would be treated together with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a “single employer” within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code.

(ii) With respect to each Benefit Plan, the Company has made available to Parent, to the extent applicable, true, correct and complete copies of (A) the Benefit Plan document, including any amendments thereto, and all related trust documents, insurance contracts or other funding vehicles, (B) a written description of such Benefit Plan if such plan is not set forth in a written document, (C) the most recently prepared actuarial report, (D) the most recent summary plan description together with the summary or summaries of all material modifications thereto, (E) the most recent Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) determination or opinion letter, (F) the two most recent annual reports (Form 5500 or 990 series and all schedules and financial statements attached thereto), and (G) all material correspondence to or from the IRS, the United States Department of Labor, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or any other Governmental Entity received in the last three years with respect to any Benefit Plan.

(iii) Each Benefit Plan, other than “multiemployer plans” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA (each, a “Multiemployer Plan”) and Non-U.S. Benefit Plans, (each, a “U.S. Benefit Plan”) has been established, operated and administered in substantial compliance with its terms and applicable Laws, including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code. Each U.S. Benefit Plan intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS or is entitled to rely upon a favorable opinion issued by the IRS, and, to the knowledge of the Company, there are no existing circumstances that could reasonably be expected to affect adversely the qualified status of any such U.S. Benefit Plan. Neither the Company, any Benefit Plan nor any trustee, administrator or other third-party fiduciary and/or party-in-interest thereof, has engaged in any breach of fiduciary responsibility or any “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) to which Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code applies and which could subject the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to a material tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 4975 of the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction that would reasonably be expected to result in a material civil penalty under Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA. Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate is subject to any material liability or penalty under Sections 4976 through 4980 of the Code or Title I of ERISA with respect to any Benefit Plan.

(iv) Neither the Company, any of its subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate (x) maintains or contributes to or has within the past six years maintained or contributed to any Benefit Plan that is subject to Subtitles C or D of Title IV of ERISA or that is otherwise a defined benefit pension plan or (y) maintains or has an obligation to contribute to or has within the past six years maintained or had an obligation to contribute to a Multiemployer Plan.

-25-

(v) All material contributions required to be made under each Benefit Plan, as of the date of this Agreement, have been timely made and all obligations in respect of each Benefit Plan have been properly accrued and reflected in the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company filed or incorporated by reference in the Company Reports prior to the date of this Agreement.

(vi) As of the date of this Agreement, there is no material pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened litigation relating to the U.S. Benefit Plans. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligations for retiree health and life benefits under any U.S. Benefit Plan or collective bargaining agreement.

(vii) There has been no amendment to, announcement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any U.S. Benefit Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent fiscal year.

(viii) Neither the execution of this Agreement, stockholder adoption of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will (w) entitle any employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon any termination of employment after the date of this Agreement, (x) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or result in any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the Benefit Plans, (y) limit or restrict the right of the Company or, after the consummation of the Transactions, Parent to merge, amend or terminate any of the Benefit Plans or (z) result in payments under any of the Benefit Plans which would not be deductible under Section 162(m) or Section 280G of the Code.

(ix) No Benefit Plan or other agreement provides any person with any amount of additional compensation or gross-up if such individual is provided with amounts subject to excise or additional taxes imposed under Sections 4999 or 409A of the Code.

(x) All Non-U.S. Benefit Plans comply in all material respects with applicable local law. The Company and its Subsidiaries have no material unfunded liabilities with respect to any such Non-U.S. Benefit Plan. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened material litigation relating to Non-U.S. Benefit Plans.

Except with respect to regulatory matters covered by Section 5.1(d)(i), no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, has any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct the same. To the knowledge of the Company, no material change is required in the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ processes, properties or procedures in connection with any such Laws, and the Company has not received any written notice of any material noncompliance with any such Laws that has not been cured as of the date of this Agreement.

6.2. Acquisition Proposals.

(a) No Solicitation or Negotiation. (i) The Company agrees that, except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.2, neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of its or their respective officers and directors shall, and that it shall instruct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors and representatives (such directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors and representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

(A) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal;

(B) enter into any agreement or agreement in principle with any Person concerning any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement concerning an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in compliance with Section 6.2(a)(ii)) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) or grant any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill or confidentiality agreement concerning an Acquisition Proposal (except in respect of any standstill agreement entered into by the Company in compliance with Section 6.2(a)(ii)); or

(C) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, at any time following the receipt of an Acquisition Proposal that was made on or after the date hereof in circumstances not otherwise involving a breach of this

-53-

Agreement and prior to the time, but not after, the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, the Company may (A) provide information in response to a request therefor by a Person that has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal providing for the acquisition of more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets (on a consolidated basis) or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company (by acquisition, merger or otherwise) if the Company receives from the Person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement on terms not less restrictive to such Person than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that any such confidentiality agreement shall expressly permit the Company to provide copies of forms of agreements in respect of such Acquisition Proposal to Parent and its Representatives as contemplated in Section 6.2(e) and any such confidentiality agreement need not contain a standstill provision) and promptly discloses (and, if applicable, contemporaneously provides copies of) any non-public information so provided to Parent to the extent not previously provided to Parent; (B) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person (and its Representatives) that has made such an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal; and (C) after having complied with Section 6.2(e), approve, recommend, or otherwise declare advisable or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) such an Acquisition Proposal and/or authorize the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that, (x) prior to taking any action described in clause (ii)(A), (ii)(B) or (ii)(C) above, the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, (y) in each such case referred to in clause (ii)(A) or (ii)(B) above, the board of directors of the Company has determined in good faith based on the information then available and after consultation with its outside legal counsel that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, and (z) in the case referred to in clause (ii)(C) above, the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

(b) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer made by a Person (other than Parent or Merger Sub) relating to (i) any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of (A) 15% or more of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) 15% or more of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 15% of more of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company, or (iii) any merger, consolidation, exclusive license, business combination, recapitalization, joint venture, partnership, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction

-54-

involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to which any Person or its stockholders would beneficially own 15% or more of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company resulting, directly or indirectly, from any such transaction, in each case other than the Transactions.

“Superior Proposal” means a written, fully financed and bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the board of directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be consummated substantially in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal, and if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Transactions, in each case, after taking into account all relevant factors including all terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement (including any revisions to the terms of the Transactions contemplated by Section 6.2(e) and the time likely to be required to consummate such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal”, the references to “15% or more” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “more than 50%”).

(c) No Change of Recommendation. Except as set forth in this Section 6.2, the board of directors of the Company and each committee of the board of directors shall not:

(i) withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or announce any intention to withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation;

(ii) fail to recommend unequivocally against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer that is publicly disclosed (other than by Parent or an Affiliate of Parent) prior to the earlier of (i) the date prior to the date of the Stockholders Meeting and (y) eleven (11) business days after the commencement of such tender or exchange offer pursuant to Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act or recommend that the stockholders of the Company tender their Shares in such tender offer or exchange offer;

(iii) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus distributed to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Stockholders Meeting;

(iv) make any other public statement of the board of directors of the Company or a committee thereof in connection with the Stockholders Meeting that is inconsistent with the Company Recommendation; or

(v) approve, adopt, recommend, or resolve or publicly propose to approve, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (any action described

-55-

in clauses (i) through (v) being referred to as a “Change of Recommendation”); provided that any determination of the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof to provide, or the provision of, a Superior Proposal Notice shall not be deemed a Change of Recommendation).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement but subject to Section 6.2(e), prior to the time, but not after, the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, if an Acquisition Proposal has been made on or after the date hereof, the board of directors of the Company may make a Change of Recommendation in response to such Acquisition Proposal if, and only if, (i) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 6.2; and (ii) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (B) in light of such Acquisition Proposal, failure to make a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary obligations under applicable Law.

(e) Prior to making any Change of Recommendation in connection with an Acquisition Proposal (to the extent permitted under Section 6.2(d)): the Company shall deliver to Parent a written notice (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) stating that the board of directors of the Company intends to take such action pursuant to Section 6.2(d) and intends to cause the Company to enter into the Alternative Acquisition Agreement, a full form of which shall be delivered with such notice together with full forms of any related documents. During the three (3) business day period commencing on the date of Parent’s receipt of such Superior Proposal Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), the Company shall make its Representatives reasonably available for the purpose of engaging in negotiations with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding an amendment of this Agreement so that the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the Superior Proposal Notice ceases to be a Superior Proposal. Any written proposal made by Parent to amend this Agreement during the Negotiation Period shall be considered by the board of directors of the Company in good faith before any determination that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 6.2(d). Each time the financial or other material terms of such Acquisition Proposal are amended, the Company shall be required to deliver to Parent a new Superior Proposal Notice (including as attachments thereto a copy of the most current version of the new Alternative Acquisition Agreement relating to such amended Acquisition Proposal and copies of any related documents) and the Negotiation Period shall be extended by an additional two (2) business days from the date of Parent’s receipt of such new Superior Proposal Notice.

(f) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that none of the Company, the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof shall make any Change of Recommendation, except in accordance

-56-

with this Section 6.2; and provided, further, however, that in no event shall any “Stop-Look-and-Listen” communication contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or similar required communication be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation or to violate this Section 6.2.

(g) Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and shall instruct and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective directors, officers and other Representatives to, immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with, or any solicitation or intentional assistance or encouragement of, any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (or that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal) which are on-going as of the date hereof. The Company shall take the necessary steps to promptly inform the individuals or entities referred to in the preceding sentence of the obligations in this Section 6.2 and pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement. The Company also agrees that it will promptly request each Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement prior to the date hereof in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to return all confidential information furnished to such Person prior to the date hereof by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality agreements or standstill agreements entered into with any Person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal if requested to do so by Parent.

(h) Notice. Without limiting anything in this Section 6.2, the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Parent orally and in writing if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, it, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall (x) keep Parent informed, on a timely basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations and (y) provide to Parent as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material sent by or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from any Person that describes any of the terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal.

6.3. Stockholders Meeting. The Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and its certificate of incorporation and by-laws all action reasonably necessary to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of holders of Shares (the “Stockholders Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective, to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement, cause such vote to be taken and completed as soon as practicable and shall not postpone or adjourn such meeting except to the extent required by Law or with the prior written consent of Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Stockholders Meeting to the extent

-57-

necessary to permit the board of directors of the Company to continue negotiations in respect of any pending Superior Proposal, provided that the Company has complied, and continues to comply, with its obligations in respect of any such Superior Proposal under Section 6.2. Subject to Section 6.2(d) and Section 6.2(e) hereof, the board of directors of the Company shall recommend such adoption and include the Company Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

6.4. Form S-4 and Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement and in any event within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall jointly prepare and Parent shall file with the SEC the Form S-4, in which the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be included as a prospectus. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Form S-4 to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the NASDAQ listing standards, (ii) provide the other party (and its outside counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus prior to the filing by Parent of any such document or any amendment or supplement thereof with the SEC, (iii) have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, (iv) cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after such declaration of effectiveness, and (v) keep the Form S-4 effective through the Closing in order to permit the consummation of the Transactions. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall furnish all information concerning itself and its Subsidiaries and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Parent, and Parent shall furnish all such information concerning itself and such other matters as may reasonably be required, in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. No filing, amendment, supplement or distribution of the Form S-4 will be made without provision to Parent and the Company of a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 so that such document would not include any misstatement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be included therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly prepared by the party to which such amended or supplemented disclosure relates and, to the extent required by applicable Law, filed with the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, such party shall, prior to the filing of such amended or supplemented disclosure with the SEC, provide the other party (and its outside counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such amended or supplemented disclosure. The parties shall notify each other promptly of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective, of the issuance of any stop order or suspension of the qualification of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the

-58-

receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 or for additional information and shall supply each other with copies of (i) all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Form S-4 or the Merger and (ii) all orders of the SEC relating to the Form S-4, the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and, in connection therewith, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to promptly respond to any such comments of the SEC or its staff and, prior to any party submitting a response, provide the other party (and its outside counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such response.

6.5. Regulatory and Other Authorizations.

(a) Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other Transactions as soon as practicable, including by (i) making appropriate filings of Notification and Report Forms pursuant to the HSR Act, and (ii) using reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable all other Consents of or by any Governmental Entity that are necessary or advisable under or in respect of any Antitrust Laws in order to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions, including the Consents set forth on Schedule 7.1(b)(ii) (collectively, the “Antitrust Consents”); provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or any of its Affiliates to pay prior to the Effective Time any fee, penalties or other consideration to any third party in order to obtain any consent or approval which may be required under any Contract with any such third party in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The Company and Parent shall each request early termination of the waiting period with respect to the Merger under the HSR Act. Subject to the further provisions hereof and to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, it is agreed that Parent, after consulting with the Company and considering the Company’s views in good faith, and in a manner consistent with its obligation pursuant to this Section 6.5 to obtain the Antitrust Consents, shall make all decisions, lead all discussions, negotiations and other proceedings, and coordinate all activities with respect to any requests that may be made by, or any actions, consents, undertakings, approvals, or waivers that may be sought by or from, any Governmental Entity in respect of Antitrust Consents, including determining the manner in which to contest or otherwise respond, by litigation or otherwise, to objections to, or proceedings or other actions challenging, the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions. In all cases subject to Section 6.5(c), Parent shall take all actions set forth on Section 6.5(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter. At Parent’s request, and subject to the provisions of this Section 6.5, the Company agrees to take all actions Parent reasonably deems prudent in order to obtain any actions, consents, undertakings, approvals or waivers by or from any Governmental Entity for or in connection with, and to assist Parent in litigating or otherwise contesting

-59-

any objections to or proceedings or other actions challenging, the consummation of the Merger and other Transactions, and the Company shall take or agree to take any actions requested by Parent in connection with obtaining the Antitrust Consents to the extent they become effective only at or following the Effective Time. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

(b) Information. Subject to applicable Law, the Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.5(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall be obligated to take any action that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Impact on its current or future businesses or operations. For purposes of this Section 6.5(c), “Material Impact” means a significant and ongoing adverse financial or operational impact that is of sufficient magnitude that, if known at the time thereof, a reasonable businessperson would not have proceeded with the Merger, after weighing the anticipated benefits of such Merger against the adverse consequences of the proposed condition or actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Impact on the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. The party asserting that a Material Impact has occurred shall bear the burden of proof.

(d) Parent shall be responsible for all filing fees and other costs incurred by Parent or the Company in order to obtain the Antitrust Consents, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the Company in connection with any review of, inquiry into, investigation of, or challenge to the Transactions, and shall promptly reimburse the Company for any such filing fees and other out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company in respect thereof.

(e) Each party shall promptly notify the other party of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other party to review in advance any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Entity. Neither party shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. The parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and

-60-

providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. The parties will provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions. The parties shall take reasonable best efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this section so as to preserve any applicable privilege.

(f) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall enter into any change of control, strategic investment or similar transaction or Contract to effect any such transaction (including any merger or acquisition), or take any other action in pursuit of the foregoing, in each case with respect to any one or more of the entities identified on Schedule 6.5(f) of the Parent Disclosure Letter or any of their respective Affiliates, if the foregoing could reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or increase the time required, to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b) and Section 7.1(c).

6.6. Access and Reports. Subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable notice, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Parent’s officers and other authorized Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its employees, properties, assets, books, contracts, Tax Returns, and records and, during such period, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to Parent all information concerning its business, properties, finances, operations, assets, litigation matters, environmental compliance, cash-flow reports and personnel as may reasonably be requested; provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not require the Company (i) to permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality if the Company shall have used reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure or (ii) to disclose any privileged information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be directed to the executive officer or other Person designated by the Company. All such information shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

6.7. NASDAQ Listing. Parent shall cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger and the shares of Parent Common Stock to be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the options to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Company Options hereunder (the “Listed Parent Common Shares”) to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ prior to the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary,

-61-

proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of NASDAQ to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Shares from NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than ten (10) days after the Closing Date.

(c) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation to contain as of the Effective Time provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former or present directors, officers and employees than are

-64-

presently set forth in the Company’s articles of incorporation and By-laws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified (by merger or otherwise) for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals.

(d) If the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

-65-

outside legal counsel, including on or prior to the effective date of the Form S-4 and the Closing Date, for purposes of rendering opinions with respect to the tax treatment of the Merger.

EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.5.

9.6. Remedies.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of a party hereunder to consummate the Merger) were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations under this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including the terms and provisions hereof requiring a party hereunder to consummate the Merger) in any of the courts of the State of Delaware and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance relief on the basis that a party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.5(a) and 8.5(e), but notwithstanding Section 9.6(a), in the event that the Termination Fee is paid (or may become payable pursuant to Section 8.5(c)) by the Company to Parent in accordance with Section 8.5, the payment of the Termination Fee (or, in the event of a termination hereof that may result in an obligation of payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.5(c), the right to receive such payment as and when specified therein, to the extent such payment becomes payable and is paid) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent or Merger Sub against the Company for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in this Agreement by the Company, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members, stockholders, assignees, representatives or Affiliates shall have any further liability or obligations relating to or arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not impair the rights of Parent, if any, to obtain injunctive relief pursuant to this Section 9.6 prior to any termination of this Agreement.

No party shall be bound by, or be liable for, any alleged representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention not contained herein.

9.9. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 6.11 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) (which shall inure to the benefit of the persons benefiting therefrom, who are expressly intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof), Parent and the Company hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other party hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The parties hereto further agree that the rights of third party beneficiaries under Section 6.11 shall not arise unless and until the Effective Time occurs. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 9.3 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date hereof or as of any other date.

9.10. Obligations of Parent and of the Company. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

9.11. Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Merger shall be paid by Parent and Merger Sub when due, and Parent and Merger Sub will indemnify the Company against liability for any such Taxes.

9.12. Definitions. For the convenience of the parties hereto, each of the terms set forth in Annex A is defined in the Section of this Agreement set forth opposite such term.

9.13. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

9.14. Interpretation; Construction.

(a) The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to an Article, Section, Annex or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Annex of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation” or words of like import. The use of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, or the singular or plural form of words used herein (including defined terms) shall not limit any provision of this Agreement. Reference herein to a particular Person includes such Person’s successors and assigns to the extent such successors and assigns are permitted by the terms of any applicable Contract. Reference to a particular Contract (including this Agreement), document or instrument means such Contract, document or instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Any reference to a particular Law means such Law as amended, modified or supplemented (including all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and, unless otherwise provided, as in effect from time to time. The terms “cash” and “$” mean United States Dollars. The use of the terms “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section, paragraph or clause of, or Annex to, this Agreement.

(b) The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(c) The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

9.15. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by operation of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that Parent may designate, by written notice to the Company, another wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary to be a Constituent Corporation in lieu of Merger Sub, in which event all references herein to Merger Sub shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary, except that all representations and warranties made herein with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided that any such designation shall not impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise impede the rights of the stockholders of the Company under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void.
